PC closing down involuntarily &.....

Q:PC closing down involuntarily &.....

right 2 problems....sometimes my pc just turns itself off and it can take me 5 or 10 minutes before it lets me turn it back on, i can be doing anything, on the internet or anything else. Take today i just turned it on got to XP login and my desktop then the screen went blank and it turned itself off.

secondly a funny noise is comming from inside my pc on occassions which sounds like what a phone sounds like once a dial-up connection is in situe...crackly noises and a slight whistling noise..does anyone know what it is?

The latter only started after I reformatted.

My operating System is:-

AMD Duron Processor1.29 Ghz320 MB

I have 2 hard drives C & D

I have an internal modem but it's not in use it is disabled as I connect to the net via an external ADSL modem. I have no drivers installed for the internal modem.

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

I figured out that it was windows media player that was causing the folder to appear on the desktop, I'm attaching the picture.

If I delete it, it would appear on the desktop again after a little while.. Any idea what could be causing the problem?

Hiya

Sorry for the late reply

I've just looked in a previous post, and you said this:

It started happening when I installed a new WindowBlinds desktop theme (GT3). A folder named New Folder is created on the desktop. If I delete it, after a little bit it'll be made again. What gives?Click to expand...

I'm having problems using a chess website. Periodically when I try to close the 'analyse game' window, instead of closing it starts a chain reaction of opening multiple analyse game windows. The only ways I have of stopping it are to use task manager to close them or to hold the power button to completely stop the computer. Please help, I'm enjoying my chess and this is making it difficult.

Well some months ago our switch user button just disappeared from the start menu. I tried fixing it myself and looking around on the internet but I could not find an answer nor could I get it to work again. I am afraid to use system recovery or backup because I do not want to uninstall virus protection or anything.

How can I do this please. I sometimes do not want to log my account off and have to log back in and wait for everything to load.

In the start menu, type services.msc then hit enter.

Look at the Secondary Logon service and make sure it is set to automatic and started too. If not started, do so and reboot.

Welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you have conditional formatting turned on. Try going to the formatting tab and looking into it there.

Hello everyone I'm having the issue noted above BSODs attribute the crash to either one of two files cdd dll most commonly and win k sys only once Screen turns jagged goes black and then BSOD but only when closing of Warcraft, World Chrome BSOD resizing/closing also when occasionally I've had this crashes happen to me only times in a whole week already World of BSOD when resizing/closing World of Warcraft, also when closing Chrome Warcraft crashes were all succesive BSOD when resizing/closing World of Warcraft, also when closing Chrome but after updating Catalyst drivers it never happened again PC was crash-free for or days thought it may have solved the issue and I could stop worrying about faulty hardware components but yesterday night closing Chrome it happened again I turned off Aero desktop after that just in case The problem is I can't find any Memory dump or minidump for those BSODs even though settings are on for that maybe MEMORY DMP is too large I have free Gb out of on my boot drive I changed it to minidumps just in case Oh also it was already set to overwrite so no idea what's going on Could not find them manually nor could SF Diagnostics tools which I just ran My rig is new only about months old and no hardware changes since The only components coming from my older PC are the boot HDD and graphics card The only thing that's happened is or power outages in December but BSODs started only last week If any hardware components are malfunctioning they are luckily under warranty but I need to determine if that's the case Only other strange thing is that when gathering my rig's data for this post Everest shows my Motherboard as quot Unknown quot I'll double check I installed all drivers Thanks in advance btw great tool that SF Diagnostics I'm no computer wizard but it's quite useful even for an amateur like me

A:BSOD when resizing/closing World of Warcraft, also when closing Chrome

Hi Haxiel.

The zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump.

Follow it: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

A:Slow browser, IE closing, Outlook and Yahoo closing

Hi Elise,thank you. I ended up getting rid of PC Tools Internet Security and switching to AVG Basic Free. I think most of the major problems went away. Yahoo has stayed up, Outlook has stayed up, browser seems to work quickly, facebook didn't have floating text and pictures anymore, was able to do some posting, sent some large emails. But, and not exactly sure, IE has frozen up, but not as often. The dds program you had me run this morning froze and I had to do a hard shut off, task mgr didn't respond and the weirdest thing of all, the clock stopped. Can't say I have ever seen that. So I am not sure what exactly is going on, if it really is malware or some setting is messed up. I wasn't able to run video on a site last night. Major improvement since I got rid of PC tools, but not quite right. Sorry, nontechie.

I need some help , sometimes when i try close the PC my screen gets error and it doesn't shut down, and when i start or close some games it gets me the BSOD error saying that there is a problem with cdd.dll Adress 972CB768 base at 872C0000 date stamp 4a5bd922

Obvious to anyone. You have three malware apps running live at the same time. You have Avast, Kaspersky, and AVG.

You need to remove them all and install Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST.

If you continue to crash even after removing them upload the DMP file as you have old drivers that need updating.

A:IE Closing Right away

Hi and welcome to BleepingComputer Is your log still active at MajorGeeks? If so, you should only follow the advise given by the helper at that forum. Doing otherwise can cause major problems.I didn't see where you had run malwarebytes, so let's try it here.The process of cleaning your computer may require temporarily disabliling some security programs. If you are using SpyBot Search and Destroy, please refer to Note 2 at the bottom of this page.Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.alternate download link 1alternate download link 2Make sure you are connected to the Internet.Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:Update Malwarebytes' Anti-MalwareLaunch Malwarebytes' Anti-MalwareThen click Finish.MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.Press the OK button to close that box and continue.If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.On the Scanner tab:Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.Then click on the Scan button.If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button. The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.Back at the main Scanner screen:Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.Note:-- If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware. Note 2:-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.

My IE hangs before it closes. On my other machines it's an instant reaction.

Has anyone seen this before?

A:IE not closing like it should

hello, yeah mine also hangs a little bit as well, is this where ya click the x at the top right hand corner and stays for like another second and closes? If you are also in the process of looking for another web browser than Mozilla Firefox is a good one

But to answer ya question I have seen it before, I will lookup for some resolutions if I can for you, I am not sure if Internet Explorer 7 has a update to it as of yet but maybe worth having a look for one

I was having pf probs, but no longer leaving lexmark printer in sys tray. I started using AVG Anti-Spyware a new screen saver, and ATF Cleaner. Other than that nothing else new. I can only get it up and running again if I run ATF Cleaner. This is aggravating.I'm removing the screen saver. I have a hijackthis log, would this help anyone??

Hello. I have Windows Vista 64 bit. All of a sudden my computer is shutting down and leaving me with a blank screen.It happens even if I am not on it. I have to reboot by turning the tower off and going into F8. Sometimes it twlls me one of my discs needs to be checked for consisitancy, and I fix it. The nest day...same thing, and I have to F8 and fix something else. I checked out all my programs and files, everything is OK. I have had this system for four months. Do I need to get a new computer or is it worth fixing. It is under warrenty.

Finding the programs that are activated at start up is quite straightforward - but how do you view the bells checks and whistles that occur when you close down? I ask this because recently closing down has become a very slow process and I would like to find out what is causing this. After the saving your settings message the screen freezes, mouse becomes fixed, and then after a couple of minutes the PC closes down normally. This can be annoying when you need to reboot to clear the memory, for instance. Any clues would be appreciated by this octogenerian!

I downloaded IE 6 thinking it would be advantageous. Hm-m -m...Every so often I will be in the middle of something and get this:"IE has found it necessary to close blah-blah---we regret any inconvenience. Would you like to report this error?"

What in the deuce is this? They're not kidding, it's inconvenient! I have done a search of IE questions here and don't find a problem exactly like it. Was IE 6 made available before the bugs were out?????

A:IE 6 closing itself!

That is all MS software I am afraid and has become the status quo for the software industry. Have you tried to uninstall your IE6 installation?

Hi,I recently got xp and after finally getting it working after a volume unmountable boot drive or something i have hit another problem.Every so often my computer switches its self off for no apparent reason. i have taken the cover off and check the heat sinks and they seem ok. I t happens if i run something like media player or pinball at the same time as some thing else say IE. Has anyone heard of this or can think of a reason for it?

Also i have alot of problems with MSN and IE shutting doen with errors which has recently spreed to other apps as well. does any one know anything about that?

Cheers Charli

A:Xp closing down!

i have some major problems with xp myself especialy ie6 i cant figure it out sometimes ie6 never loads the page other times it crashes! i think we need to kick some microsoft *** cause i paid way to much money just to make my computer bubly looking and unstable i want a refund!

I am running windows on a machine and everytime i open IE i get an error message that says IE has encountered and error and needs to close The strange thing is that its not the normal error message where you have the option to send an error report It has a check box closing IE Keeps that says quot Restart Micorsoft Internet Explorer quot and another strange thing is IE Keeps closing if you just move the error message out of the way and you can continue to use IE normally I disabled script debugging and i still get the same message I also ran Spybot Ad-Aware and Microsoft antispyware bete Each found alot of spyware and it was removed and browser was restored But i am still getting the same error message when openingn IE I am downloading a patch for office that will supposely correct the problem according to microsoft I do not think it will work though Does anyone have any idea IE Keeps closing on how to fix this One more thing a trojan was detected when i ran antivirus i think it was called dqsduck exe or something like that Also when i do keep IE with the error message and try to download something the whole pc crashes and restarts automatically nbsp

My IE just started acting up today. Evertime I press any key in the URL of IE, the windows all just close. Also, the same thing happens when I click on any of the "Favorites" buttons. Does anyone know what is wrong? The last thing I remember doing before this happend was that I deleted the cookies and temporary internet files through "Tools/Internet Options." also, i updated drivers as well. would any of those have anything to do with it? also, i am using Windows XP Pro, and my IE version is 6.0.2900.2180.

note: everything else works just fine

A:IE Keeps Closing

Can you start IE in Safe MOde?

Can you go to Internet Options in Control Panel then go to the Advanced Tab then hit Reset on the very bottom.

I have Windows XP and I have the Service Pack2. When I am surfing the web or playing online games IE just shuts down for no reason. My AIM does the same thing...closing for no reason. I also noticed that my PC is running slower than usual too. Does any one have any ideas why this could be happening? Any help would be appreciated.

A:IE keeps closing

These could be symptoms of many problems. When was the last time you ran scandisk and defragged your hard drive? How much RAM do you have? Have you checked for malware?Regards,John

So, my computer was stricken with virut. So to make a long story short I had to reformat. For all the gory details see (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic242301.html).

I used the HP recovery disks and reinstalled. I also upgraded to IE8. Things appear fine with my computer except that IE closes on me quite often with a warning that IE has encounted an error and will have to shut down (even though it doesn't always shutdown) and it asked me if I want to send the info to MS. If I click details on the error I get the following or something similar ...

We had the radio on this morning and have just heard that Microsoft are no longer going to have XP. They went on to say users would have to buy new things such as Windows 8 etc. or be at risk of the system being targeted by hackers and so people would be at risk; they (we) should buy tablets with different programes etc., Is this true and why when so many people aill be unable to switch due to cost and also because many of us older people find the new Tablers, IPhones etc.,difficult to use and understand. Surely such a large organization such as Microsoft should carry on with the 35% of us who have XP and do not want to change?Kind regards.......Margaret

Hello, Im currently having a problem with my computer. It seems with programs such as WMP, Ares, Winamp and a couple other programs close after a period of time by itself and gives me a stupid error....I tried re-installing my computer alltogether but it didnt make a difference, I dont know if this is connected to another problem i've been having where as my computer occationally gives me a B.S.O.D and the error is ( to the best of my rememberance ) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL....

Thanks..

Hi, I am new to this forum and hope you can help me. Every time I click on a video in IE (6) it runs for a while and then comes up with the error of "Internet Net Explorer has encountered a problem and must close down"I send the error report as requested, but nothing seems to work. It's amazing that the commercials all work, but once the video starts it pops up that message. Sometimes the video will continue playing anyway, but sometimes it just freezes up. Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm trying to help a friend of mine, he's getting the isearch c*** on his computer. I've suggested he run hjt and post his log so someone can help. The problem is....as soon as hjt stops scanning a window pops up telling him the window is closing. He can see the scan results but is unable to do anything with them. He ran the cwshredder and another coolwww something or another as suggested at the hjt website. Any suggestions on how he can get that to work? Thanks!

A:HJT keeps closing

I'm sure you meant CRUD....

====

Try the older version of HJT (link info below) or try it in Safe Mode. It's not preferred, but it's a start.

Please download HijackThis - this program will help us determine if there are any spyware/malware on your computer. Create a folder at C:\HJT and move HijackThis1982.exe there. Run a scan and save the log file. Get HijackThis Analyzer and save it to the same folder as the hijackthis.log file. Run HijackThis Analyzer and type in y if you agree. Open up the result.txt file created. Copy the whole result.txt log and post it in the forum. Do not fix anything in HijackThis since they may be harmless.

I just got Windows 7 home premium. I can't figure what to do. I start windows,and as long as I am using it stays open. But if I do nothing for about 2 min. it goes back to where I sign in to Windows again. Then I have to enter my password again,to get back in to Windows again. There must be a setting for this,but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

A:Keep Closing

Go into Control Panel, Power Options and make sure that the computer isn't set to Sleep After XX minutes. XX = the number of minutes. It is asking for the Password to wake up.

What factors would make Internet Explorer keep closing unexpecttedly? It will only stay open about 30 seconds. This occurs in any version of IE. Last night I uninstalled Foxfire and then uninstalled IE 8 hoping to get it back to a point it would function normally. No luck. I ultimately went back to IE 6. Then installed IE 7.

This all started 2 days ago when I tried to upgrade to IE 8 and also try Foxfire. All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Robt

A:I E keeps closing [crashing]

IE8 is still buggy if IE7 works properly use it until Microsoft works out the bugs

Operating System: Windows Millennium Edition [Me] Processor: 600 MHz AMD Athlon Memory: 256 MB While playing games, (Age of empires, Sims, Mall Tycoon etc.) the game will suddenly close. Computer does not crash, game just closes. I have scanned hard disk for problems and viruses. Norton is up to date. I have the driver disks for the cards. I have updated the drivers on the web to try and fix this problem. Have looked in device manager and system information for conflicts. I cannot figure out this problem. Have even installed Windows 98 SE to see if ME was the problem. Computer is fine when using all other programs (Microsoft Word, Photoshop etc.). Games close after about 10 min. of play. What could be causing this? Hardware or software? Thank you for any help. Paul

A:Closing Games

PaulMany of the current games on the market incorporate the latest and greatest technologies and sometimes overtax some of the slightly older systems they are running on. Your Video and audio components and drivers must be up to it as well as having current DirectX controls. There are workarounds and updates available for most problems. Here is a thread where we explored what may be happening to the Sims game. All the rest you listed probably follow the same rules.Note: Being an AMD you may be encountering Heat problems since you are pushing the processer, however that may not be the case since you are able to function after being dumped back to desktop. A good test for heat would be removing the side panel and have a desk fan blow air into the inside of your tower. then see if the problem happens.Good luck and let us know how it turns out.Dave

I have also tried system restore - that has not helped either! I have also had a look at http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/#PowerPoint_Crashes_Without_Error_Message and tried several solutions but still no luck. I definitely need help.

hey guys! i have already hijacked this, and cleaned my computer. but frequently still when i go to close a windows box it hangs up. throwing a restart gives me "ending program please wait" box, the program is explorer.exe. i have a suspicion that something is using all my cpu space. how can you tell from the cpu usage log which program it is? i have plenty of memory available so thats not the problem. suggestions?

A:slow ie closing

bring up task manager and goto the processes tab. the cpu column will show you what processes are using your cpu time

I just re-installed XP. I use Mozilla mostly as my browser. Now when I'm on a website and try to open up a Java Chat it will close the browser. The same thing happens with IE. I don't have any popup blockers, nor do I have the browser set to block popups.

Any thoughts on what is causing this?

Thank you

Whenever I minimize Outlook it closes the program.

How do I close just one port on my Laptop,its easy,I did it a while back,but I dont remember how.I do remember typing in the number of the port.I configured my Firewall on my Desktop,all ports were stealthed.I did the same on my Laptop,it didnt stealth just one Port,same Firewall.Windows XP-Home SP1,Desktop-Windows XP-Home-SP2-Laptop.Thanking everyone in advance.

A:Closing One Port.

To open or close portsYou must be logged on to this computer as an administrator to complete this procedure.

Open Windows Firewall. On the Exceptions tab, choose one of the following options: To open a port for a program or service, select the check box for the program or service. To close a port for a program or service, clear the check box for the program or service.

I have Vista (purchased Jul07) and about 2 months ago began having problems with IE not closing when using certain sites. The main problem seems to be when I am using Ancestry.com - at first it would not close some of the time but now it never closes and I must go to start manager to close the program. It also occurs occasionally with other sites, but always with Ancestry. There doesn't seem to be a CPU space problem. I've tried not having any other programs open on Vista (such as my Family Tree Maker) but that doesn't seem to matter. I hope someone can tell me if the problem is within Vista, IE, or Ancestry. I'm an elderly lady and although I've used a computer for years, am not technically savvy.

Everytime I go to close IE7 it never just closes normally. it always says that internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close When I click on where it says to see what data this error report contains it says the following files will be included in this report:

C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\c434_appcompat.txt

I'm using windows xp.

A:error when closing IE7

Although IE7 is still a little buggy, this is probably being caused by some 3rd party software you have installed in IE...probably a toolbar that you may have had with 6 that is not 100% compatible with IE7. IE is notorious for loading toolbars from 3rd parties willy-nilly without really asking your permission.

When IE is open, hit ALT to bring up the program menu and then select VIEW. Got to TOOLBARS and un-check all of the toolbars and see if this solves the problem. If it does, re-enable the ones you actually want one-by-one and see which one causes the problem to come back.

You can remove most IE toolbars from the Add/Remove Programs section of Windows.

Of course, you could always just get Firefox and be done with this kind of stuff

I clicked ALL fonts to get a count Re: how many there were (are). When I went to close, I had to close each one individually = took about 15minutes. SOmewhere I read that there is a short cut way to close several files or programs all open by clicking 1 or 2 keyboard keys and then clicking on close. Does anyone know what that shortcut is?It was a real nuisance to have to click the X for each and every font.thanks............. missfuffy.

A:closing 100+ files all at once

It has been a long time since I have used it, and when I did use it, I didn't use XP yet.

When you close out the window by clicking the red X in the upper right hand corner, you press and hold either the Ctrl or Shift key. I think it was the Ctrl key. Doing so will close all windows that were opened in that way (ex. all your font windows) all at once.

I hope that trick still works with XP. I haven't had to use it in a long time.

When was the last time you Defraged? Also what do you have running in the background?

The other day I was burning a CD on RealOne Player and all of a sudden, the window closed out. First, I thought there was just some kind of weird, minor mishap. But later, I tried opening AOL instant messenger and it stayed open for 3 seconds and closed out. This also happened with RealOne, and my attempts to Install a newer version (2004) of Nortons Antivirus only lasted until the "Would you like to activate and register now?" screen, which was 3 seconds into installation. Something keeps closing my programs. I also cannot stay long in the Add/Remove Files window. I just installed Bullgard and it detected:

C:\RECYCLER\NPROTECT\00008457.EXE=>(FSG 1.33)

Status: Infected Backdoor.Agobot.3.Gen

in which the file was "infected" and was unable to be disinfected. Nortons 2003 did not pick this up. Is there any other way I can rid my programs of closing themselves
